Last Sunday, Lincoln Riley caused a huge storm of news as he announced his decision to leave Oklahoma to become the head coach of USC. This came after Riley stated the night before, after their 37-33 loss at Oklahoma State, he would not become the head coach of LSU. Instead, he took off to the Pac-12.
Riley was interviewed on College GameDay as a part of the huge coaching carousel that took place over the week. During his interview, Alabama and Georgia fans were trolling Riley hard for his decision to not coach for Oklahoma, who is set to join the SEC in 2025, or LSU as the crowd chanted ‘SEC’ repeatedly.

While his houses in Norman and Los Angeles are not paid off by USC, Riley will reportedly be getting $110 million for 10-years as well as unlimited uses of a private jet. LSU hired Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly for a 10-year, $95 million deal. Oklahoma is still looking for their next head coach, while Bob Stoops serves as the interim for the bowl game.
